p g g "a cla ms (o1'. 2 99--s4 K This invention relates to apparatusfinwh icha deliquescent substance is slowly dissipated in a liquid.

Such devices are used in bathrooms, sick rooms, and other places where itis desired to/ impart a fragrant odor, or a medicated atmos,-*

phere, and more particularly to bath sprays whereby they are rendered more pleasurable or healthful due to the incorporation of antiseptics, perfumesor medicaments. p l v An object of the invention is to provide a container .attachableto a liquid supply, as .a water pipe, and having therein a lozenge shaped block, cake, or tablet of the substance selected to purify perfume or medicate the bath.

A further feature is in the provision of a container having a normally closed passage through which may be inserted the tablet without openw ing the container, the same being closed by a removable cover, permitting access, when it is desired to cleanse the interior.

Another purpose is to produce a liquid disseminating container, prowded with means whereby the tablet is exposed to turbulent liquidv 5 and slowly liquified, causing its fragrance to be dispensed through openings therein to the liquid stream.

A still further objecttis to provide a container forfthis purpose of neat appearance, inexpen- 3o sive to produce, and easily installed.

- These several objects are accomplished by the novel construction-and arrangement of few and simple parts hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming an which Figure l is a side elevational view showing the preferred type of installation and purpose of the invention.

Figure 3 is a side elevation view of the same. Figure 1s a longitudinal section view taken on line i4 ofFigure 2. v I l 1 7 Referring in greater detail to the drawing, the numeral ,lil designates a conventional type of spray head, here shown as suspended from above by a pipe I i, connected with a water supp ply;

The apparatus consists of a hollow container I5 cylindrical in form, stiffened by ornamental beading as,indicated. Its bottom I6,- may be integral with the side wall, at the beaded top of which is a removable cover ll.

Fixed in the bottom lfi'is a tube 18, its enlarged lower portion l9 threaded to engage with essential component of this disclosure, and in Figure 2 is atop plan view of the container.

i M".- the spray head Ill, While; the upper reduced por .tionlllof thegtubeis suited tosconnect with; the

suspending supply pipe ll having a coupling [2 by which to clamp the cover in position.

from the axis of the container and extends through the cover plate l'l.

In the midway portion of this tube are aseries of small perforations 22, discharging liquid and causing a turbulent condition therein, while in the upper portion, but well below the cover ll, -is' inserted a small transverse duct 23, open at one of its ends 24 to the container and havin in its upper side an orifice 25. l

The cover ll has an elongated slot 21 provided with anjinternal resilient flap cover '28, preferably of transparent material, secured by a rivet 29. V l

The cover of the slotted opening 21 is depressed upon the insertion of a tablet or cake 30 of the material used, which rests upon the bottom,as shown best in Figure 4. r

In operation the device having been assembled as indicated in Figure 1 the water flows through the tube I8, a portion entering theduct 23, through the orifice 25, toHbe discharged at its open end 24, partially filling the container I5; thence to reenter the tube [8 through the minute perforations 2D in a chargedcondition so that the water will be perfumed or medicated by the immersed tablet, as it is slowly dissolved and mixed with the outflow to be dispensedby the spray head II]; the cover ll preventing splashing of the liquid solution.

It will be understood that the tabletsare comsuch asan antiseptic, menthol shampooing preps arations, etc., or solidified perfumes to impart a: pleasant and agreeable odor to the bath spray,

eventually emanating from the head It; the dej 40 c posed of substances having medicinal properties,

vice, therefore, will be agreeable both forindividual baths and for hospital use.

Although the foregoing is generally descriptive of the best known embodiment of theinvention;

it will be understood that various modifications may be made within the scope of the invention as denoted by the appended claims.

"Having thus described the invention and set forth the manner of its use, what isclaimed as new and sought to secure by Letters Patent,

gitudinally in said container to extend therethrough, its upper end connected with a supply 1. A mixer for. deli que scent tablets for bath sprays, comprising a container, a tube fixed lon-" way through which a tablet may be passed, re-

' silient means to normally close said passageway and means on said tube to clamp said cover on said container.

" 2. A mixer for deliquescent tablets for bath,

sprays, an open topped cylindrical container, a cover engageable thereover, a tube set in the bottom wall of said container extending therebelow to engage a spray head and above said 15 cover to connect a supply pipe, means adjustable on said tube to clamp said cover said tube oifset from the axis of the container and provided with a plurality of fine perforations, a duct passing transversely through the wall of said tube and 20 open to the container above the perforations, said duct having an orifice inits upper surface,

a slot in said coverto admita tabletinto the container, and a resilient flap of transparent material normally covering said slot from its under side.

3. A mixer for deliquescent tablets for bath sprays comprising a cup-shaped container, a tube fixed the bottom Wall of said container connecting-between a supporting supply pipe and a pendant spray head, the axis of said tube eccentric to the axis of the container, said tube having a multiplicity of lateral ports adapted to cause movement of the liquid within the container, a duct set transversely in said tube to receive liquid at its open top therefrom, said duct being open at'its end adjacent the closest portion of the side wall of the container, a tight fitting splash preventing cover on said container, said cover having an elongated slot remote from said tube, atransparent plate resiliently mounted on the inner side of said cover to the slot and means carried by said tube to clamp said cover on said container.
